We popped in for breakfast on Mother's day and this place blew me away. I have been back twice already. Let me tell you about their flapjacks. It was a beautiful stack of deliciousness, pair with their signature butter took them to another level. I can't get enough of them. I also had the butter burger. This has got to be one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had. The spicy sauce is just magic.

Our waiter Mike was very attentive and his service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back for my flapjack fix.

This place DOES NOT MISS. Everything we’ve ever had from here (and I’m slowly working my way through the menu) is so good. They say the 3 secrets to French cooking are:
1. Butter
2. Butter
3. Butter

This place certainly has their priorities straight. Service is great, staff are friendly and even when it’s busy the food comes out relatively quickly, and if it doesn’t, it’s worth the wait.

They make a banging Mimosa and as is standard at a place serving breakfast, their coffee and hot drinks are great too.

The only negative (to balance out my clearly biased review of my now favourite brunch place) that I can think of is that sometimes if there is a big table/large group seated inside it can be quite noisy/loud, so the acoustics aren’t that great, as would be expected for a small restaurant, and then once I received hot food on a cold plate which meant the food was cold on the bottom (and cooled very quickly) but even that wouldn’t be enough to stop me from going back.

Usually busy, so expect to wait for 10-15mins for a table unless you get lucky with someone paying as you arrive.

Admittedly I choose to eat at Butter all Day because of their name! I've driven past this cute little establishment, always to find it busy, so there must be something to it!

The 1st time I tried eating there, was a no-go. Got their around 10h30 on a Saturday, and was told there was a long waiting time. (Life is too short to wait in a queue, so I left).

The 2nd time I tried, I was prepared, and arrived at 8h55 on a Saturday. I was greeted warmly by a waiter who explained that they only opened at 09h00, but I could grab a seat inside or outside and was brought some menus. I am not kidding you when I tell you there was not a seat open by 9h45! And people kept arriving! The waiters seemed to have recognized many returning customers.

I loved their menu options! Coffee was superb, and the breakfast burger and the Healthy Cocoporridge were just perfect! Great value for money, great service, great ambience!

Lots of parking available in town on a Saturday morning.

Will definitely be back... before 10am.

I've been wanting to go to this place for a while and when I got there it was great, the menu has so many good looking items on it and our wait was really cool. I ordered the blueberry flapjacks and unfortunately I had to wait over an hour. They arrived very quickly after I brought it up with the waiter but I probably would have waited even longer if I didn't say anything.
In the end they were really good although a bit sweet and the perfect size of me and how they get stacked looks super satisfying.
Maybe I'll go again.

The place is pretty beautiful. I love the decor. I didn't get any pictures of the place this time because it was full but I do plan to go back. It gets really busy in the morning so you will have to wait a little to be seated. There were about three servers on the floor so the service was slow. Waited about 20 minutes to order. My drink came quickly but I waited a whole 50 minutes to get my food. I would say that it was absolutely worth the wait. The cold press orange was just amazing 100% natural. I could taste the natural flavours of the oranges. To eat I ordered the Italo Toastie with sweet potato crisps. The crisps were a great combination of crispy and soft in the middle. The toast was well toasted and the filling inside was scrumptious. I also ordered their Buttermilk Blues flapjacks which were the fluffiest and most delicious flapjacks I have tasted. The blueberry coulis and creme fraiche worked perfectly with the flapjacks. The atmosphere is great and vibey. The waiter that served us was friendly. The venue itself is beautiful. There were some flies in the restaurant which was a bit inconvenient. The menu has quite a variety of breakfast options. I would definitely be going back to try some other things on the menu.

Thanks for making my birthday weekend delightful. I had breakfast here three days in a row and I was never disappointed. My friends loved it as well.

Cool concept and design with a great vibe. Their cafe-style music was on point. Staff were friendly and attentive. Coffee was good and the wrap and chicken burger delicious, great brioche buns.

What will take this place to the next level? Making the coffee even greater, serving some good buttered fries with the meals.

Featuring a menu filled with simple yet delicious breakfast fare, Butter is a wonderful spot to start the morning.

The Cheese To My Bacon was amazing. Soft egg cooked to perfection so the yolk popped as soon as you bit in, tender bacon, melty white cheddar, a little kick from the sriracha mayo, on a soft fresh brioche bun. Ate the entire thing without setting it down.

The orange juice is fresh squeezed and the breakfast cocktails have a great range to get you started.

The interior is bright and welcoming, with plenty of light to work while you enjoy a coffee or cocktail (why not both). The staff friendly and fast-working.

Highly recommend a stop at Butter for breakfast all day and a delightful drink.
